It should be free, but for 10 bucks, I will upgrade my beloved fighter so I can bash some heads in. Personally im sick of playing the computer. And I love Tekken, but VF5 is also a good game, and after seeing how well it sold on PS3 vs. the 360 version the devs woke up and saw that they were fools to not include online for the PS3 version. Thank god they came to their senses and realized that PS3 users deserve an online mode.

exactly... Virtua Fighter 5 is $40 Brand New for the PS3. You can easily find it for $20-30 used. So even w/ a download for online at $10 its still cheaper than the 360 version which will cost $60... It's still a hefty price to pay for an online mode, but overall the game w/ the download is still a very reasonable price to pay...

Not that I really liked this game or anything, but doesn't it cost money to play online for the 360 version? Seeing as you have to pay for XBL? So it really is about the same if not cheaper for the PS3 to play online. But yes, this should have already been a feature of the game before it was released.

Thats not bad at all just think about it this way, would you rather not have it at all or pay $10 for it. Before people were complaining about how the 360 is getting it with online and everyone was mad about that, now they're giving it to us and everyone is mad because they are charging us $10. Its no be deal people just be happy we have it and that 360 fanboys can't talk crap anymore, plus now we have 2 PS3 fighting games to play online.

here is translation: With the notice of online of Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 a heap eigenaren of Ps3-versie of the game will be discriminated against himself has felt. An interview of Total Videogames with of the makers of the game does the hope blaze up probable nevertheless. Tohru Murayama, assistant, have, as it happens, confirmed manager of Sega AM2 that online play can be brought by means of patch to Ps3-versie of Virtua Fighter 5. TVG: It "is something that AM2 can solve by means of patch?" Murayama: "undoubtedly". Absent lack of time and budget are of the online vogue in Ps3-versie were especially caused. It was best for the arcade version as soon as possible at porten to PS3. Developing an online mode fell through in the process.

Sega doesnt listen to customer needs. If they wanted Virtua Fighter to be online for PLAYSTATION 3 fans, it would have been online in the first place. Or at least an online mode would have been in development and announced for a patch a long time ago.

Namco provided me with a great online experience in Tekken 5 so I will continue to neglect Virtua Fighter and Sega's lack of concern for PLAYSTATION 3 owners.

I mean us Oblivion owners for the 360 had to pay for some of the stuff PS3 owners got for free. No big deal. I'm just glad they are finally bringing it online. I had my VF5 since day one, and it's an awesome fighting game. But online play is just gonna make it even better.

This would help out the PS3's fighter lineup a lot. The moment the 360 version's online play was anounced, the PS3 version became a joke, because offline fighters these days are coasters, particularly for games as unpopular as VF5. I should know, I bought both versions of VF4 on PS2, played the sh1t out of the computer for a short while, then never touched them again. My friends tried to learn VF at one point, but they were too lazy to stick with it and gave up.
